The Sweet Memory are excellent and we will most certainly going back again for another visit. Mama, Papa and Yanni welcome you into their apartments and make you feel like part of the family. I can see no reason why anyone visiting these apartments would not have a a most enjoyable holiday. The apartments face they beach and are in a good posotion for all amenities. Cannot wait to go back next year

We had a comfortable stay in this hotel, the staff were helpful, the room was cleaned and beds made daily, comfortable beds & the air conditioning was great. Just seconds from the beach, and opposite a bus stop which will take you either towards the east of the island or west towards Heraklion city centre or the airport which is about 15 minutes away and costs a couple of Euro. There is also a swimming pool which was pretty quiet and not too busy, with the usual umbrellas and sun loungers. All in all a good place to stay.

We have just returned from a 1 week holiday at the Amirandes Grecotel in Gouves, whilst we had a very nice stay in the most fabulous hotel, it should be mentioned that the hotel is located away from any other establishments an it is very difficult to walk to anything out of the hotel, unless you clamber over rocks and up very dodgy steps or a risky walk up a lane. Taxis's are available, but we like to walk whilst on holiday. So with this in mind unless you book full or half board at the hotel, you may go hungry. You can upgrade to the option of half board at the hotel on a daily basis but at €50 per person for a buffet, we thought that this was a bit over expensive.
After all that the hotel is extremely good, the service is second to none and the rooms very luxurious, and all very very clean.

Pocket Guide: Heraklion Gouves Hotels

Ideal for a relaxing sea-and-sun holiday, this friendly, purpose-built, family resort offers a good selection of low-cost hotels and apartments, and lies 17 kilometres east of Heraklion. The local sand beaches have sunloungers, parasols and water sports. The main strip offers a handful of tavernas (some with live music) and bars, but night-time entertainment is generally hotel-based. The Star Beach water park is nearby in Chersonissos.
